It's nice to know that you have Lebron tunnel vision...don't remember Noah and other Bulls players pushing people around? Don't remember game 2 against Miami? Seriously?
As for the second paragraph...Lebron has done all of that...and yet you knock him for PUSHING ANOTHER PLAYER DURING A SPORTS COMPETITION!!!

Nah, I knocked LeBron because he carries himself like a 13 yr old on the court. Wade is even worse, but I digress.
Considering his size, weight and physical style you'd think he'd be used to getting fouled in the paint during the PLAYOFFS. Yet he continually whines like a little girl everytime somebody touches him. He should man up and shoot his free throws and accept that basketball is a physical game.

Both James and Mohammed should have been ejected, but fortunately for James, people like you, ESPN, and the NBA are there to make excuses for his lack of character to keep him relevant and on track.

I agree everyone wants to see it happen, however is it possible given the current landscape of the league? I personally doubt it, unless someone like Lebron goes down with an injury.

People like me keep him relevant despite his lack of character??? WTF are you talking about? He is relevant becaue he is one of the greatest players in NBA history!!! Hilarious how you...a black male...want to rob him of that because you question his character, based on him doing what other players in the league do continuosly. It's shameful, do you even watch NBA basketball? Here is an article that clearly testifies to his dominance...

As far as his manning up, lol...how many games does he miss from year to year? Manning up is suiting up and playing when you can. I wish certain Bulls' players had manned up in the past. Manning up is showing up in the clutch and making things happened. For the last two seasons, he silenced critics by manning up.
Some of the stuff you say about Lebron James are as crazy as the resident capologist on here who stated that Lebron was a poor rebounder for his size...but he's an idiot, who thinks he is smart...if you don't like the guy, say that? I didn't like Isiah Thomas, he is still the best little man I have ever seen play basketball. But hey, keep lying to yourself.

Even if LeBron were to get some sort of injury, this Bulls team does not get past Indiana, San Antonio, Oklahoma City, and possibly the Clippers without another really good or great scorer.

Oh, so not kissing his ass is robbing him of his greatness? That's some pretty sorry shit, man. Just saying you're made of plastic is all.
lol, yeah he's so relevant people can't stand him. When an entire network of sycophants (ESPN) tries to convince 'Merica that James is a "nice" guy, you have a PR issue. Joe Public's reaction to "King" James' antics continue to be decidedly negative. You want everyone to forget about "The Decision" because it was narcissistic and lame. Well, 'Merica doesn't forget.
People not liking James has nothing to do with race, and everything to do with his attitude and how he presents himself. Durant does not act like an oppressed person, he acts like a man of character, worthy of respect.
Again, whining to refs and glaring at opponents for fouling you is not manly. He complains about fouls on literally every possession, yet he goes to the free throw line more than anybody I know. The bs with Nazr was anything but manly... reminded me of some pampered brat on a play ground, not a world class professional ball player. Shameful.

I disagree with you on that. None of those teams play defense like the Bulls do. If all hands are on deck and everyone's healthy, Chicago and Miami are the two best teams in the league. One of them will win the championship if they can avoid notable injuries.

This is a good point, imo, because the Bulls true secret weapon is their defense. Thibs defense can win it all for the Bulls. They have to get to the playoffs healthy for once. The Bulls know this, and is why we're already seeing articles about Noah playing less, etc. A healthy Bulls team will be all the Heat can handle, especially if some of our rooks step up and Dun hits the 3, and one more big that can score! Strangely enough, a guy like Snell could make a difference.

I appreciate you enthusiasm, but I think you are smoking man. As it currently stands, I have the Bulls as the 8th best team in the league. Miami, Brooklyn, and Indiana are all better in the East; and I would take LAC, OKC, Houston, and San Antonio out of the West over them. The Bulls' defense might propel them to another awesome regular season record, but that hasn't done shit for them in the playoffs thus far. They need another elite level scorer.

Brooklyn? Interesting choice. Can you explain the calculus on that, because the last time I checked Brooklyn wasn't even the best team in NY.
My humble estimation of the Nets is they're a slow half-court team that plays average defense. If Joe Johnson's not hitting 3s, they're in trouble against elite teams in the playoffs. Garnett and Pierce are ancient, and basically give them more of what they already had on the roster to begin with (Lopez/Wallace).

Brooklyn will likely finish middle of the pack for the regular season if Kidd is smart and saves their effort for the playoffs since they do have a lot of older players. I have to give a team with Johnson, Deron, Lopez, KG, Pierce, and Terry the nod against everyone in the East outside of Miami in the playoffs.

Perhaps this has been brought up but why would melo give up the millions of $$ he would lose in home town marketing to play second fiddle to Rose in Chicago? Fans here would welcome him but there is no way he would make as much $$ here as opposed to NY.

Eh...I think we can get by Indiana and the Clippers for sure. San Antonio possibly because we could use our athleticism to get by them...it wouldn't be easy though. OKC I'm not sure we could beat in a 7 game series if both teams are fully healthy. I wouldn't say definitely not, but highly unlikely.

1. Miami
2. Chicago
3. Indiana
4a. NY
4b. Brooklyn
If Rose comes back 100%, I see them getting the #1 seed in the east. The only two teams out west the Bulls have trouble with our Memphis and the Clipps.

Chicago definitely has a shot to win it all but it would need for things to fall the right way...
1. The team needs to be completely healthy
2. Derrick Rose needs to be playing back at an MVP level
3. Jimmy Butler needs to show that he can truly be an offensive threat at the 2 guard position.
There are a lot of uncertainties there but that's what needs to happen this season.
